How long were Gabby and fiance together?
Gabby Windey and Erich Schwer have reportedly called it quits. According to multiple reports, they've broken up less than two months after their engagement aired on The Bachelorette finale.
In August 2021, American woman Gabrielle Venora Petito was killed by her fiancé Brian Laundrie at the age of 22 while they were traveling together on a van life journey across the United States. The trip was planned to last for four months and began on July 2, 2021, but Petito disappeared in late August.
Gabby Petito was traveling with her fiancé, Brian Laundrie, in a cargo van the two had outfitted as a makeshift recreational vehicle for a months-long cross-country road trip when she mysteriously disappeared.
Ms Petito, 22, went missing last summer while on a cross-country trip with 23-year-old Brian Laundrie. Her body was found in Wyoming in September and Laundrie's body was found a month later in Florida. The boyfriend of Gabby Petito claimed responsibility for her death before taking his own life, according to the FBI.
E! News confirmed on November 4, 2022, that Gabby and Erich had ended their engagement less than two months after The Bachelorette season 19 finale.
After a whirlwind of tears, roses, and receipts, fans were dying to know if the women of The Bachelorette season 19 found lasting love. And unfortunately, the answer is no. Two months after revealing their engagement, Gabby Windey and Erich Schwer have officially called it quits.
For nearly two months, Gabby, 22, and Laundrie, 23, had been traveling across America in a white, repurposed Ford Transit van.
In his preliminary findings, the coroner ruled her death a homicide. The 22-year-old was visiting the Grand Teton National Park with Mr Laundrie, 23, as part of a cross-country camper van road trip.
Over a month after his initial disappearance, officials confirm items belonging to Brian Laundrie were found in a Florida park. Human remains were also discovered near the area.
A notebook near his body contained a confession letter, in which he claims Gabby Petito's death was a mercy killing after she suffered a head injury in a fall, WWSB reports. He wrote that she was in pain and he thought the killing was “merciful.” “Please do not make life harder for my family,” Brian Laundrie wrote.
Did the police separate Gabby and Brian for the night?
Petito said she hit Laundrie first, and he was treated as a victim in the incident, according to the report. The officers ultimately separated the couple for just one day, driving Laundrie to a motel.
The cause of death of Brian Laundrie, the fiancé of Gabby Petito whose disappearance caused a firestorm late last summer, was revealed Monday. An autopsy report by the Sarasota, Florida, Medical Examiner stated Laundrie died from a gunshot wound to the head.
Livingston, 31, was a landscaper for a Long Island garden center, where Laundrie worked the sales counter and did other odd jobs, he said. "I remember from back then he was a big yoga nut, always telling me, 'I gotta worry about my zen,'" Livingston said.
Petito was trying to establish herself as a travel influencer on social media and intended to document her trips with her followers. She had been working as a pharmacy technician to save for her trip, according to The New York Times.
Dean Unglert and Gabby Windey are former college sweethearts, according to Heavy. The two dated for over a year when they were 19 years old, with Dean even referring to her as "the second love of my life." Dean once spoke about Windey on his podcast, Help! I Suck at Dating.
Since their time on the show, the two had been enjoying life together in Los Angeles as Gabby has been competing for the Mirrorball Trophy on “Dancing with the Stars.” But during last night's episode of “DWTS,” Gabby revealed that she and Erich are no longer together.
For their one-on-ones in Paris, Gabby chooses Jason (who you may recall told Rachel he was there to pursue Gabby, but did so without completely degrading Rachel, plus looking like Bryan Greenberg) and Rachel chooses Tino (who you may recall from getting Rachel's first-impression rose, plus looking like Miles Teller).
PEOPLE confirmed on Friday that Windey and Schwer ended their engagement after she accepted his proposal on the season 19 finale of The Bachelorette in September 2022.
Gabby Windey got engaged to Erich Schwer on season 19 of The Bachelorette, but like most relationships in Bachelor Nation, their journey was full of ups and downs.
